Knowledge Factor Launches Robust Reporting and Learning Analytics Engine in Latest Release
Denver, CO (ContentDesk) April 19, 2006 -- Knowledge Factor, the leader in Confidence-Based Learning, today announced the latest release of its Confidene-Based Learning System"
the CBL System 2.0featuring, among other things, a comprehensive reporting and clearning analytics engine and expanded integration into existing learning management systems.Knowledge Factors Confidence-Based Learning Systems new reporting and learning analytics engine, for the first time, gives clients the ability to pinpoint and remediate pockets of ignorance, doubt and even confidently-held misinformation at all levels of an organizationenterprise-wide, department and individual.
Among the unique reporting features are:* Discrepancy Index Analyses (what a person knows compared to what they say they know);* Knowledge quality by question or topical area (individual/group);* Historical performance (individual/group) on path to mastery;* Ignorance, doubt, misinformation and mastery reports (individual/group). According to a recent industry analyst study of senior training professionals, measurement and analytics remain the top priority of their training initiatives, and continues to be the number one source of frustration, said Mark Dreher, CEO of Knowledge Factor. That is because most training programs measure learning by how many questions someone answers correctly on a test without discriminating between confident knowledge and guesswork or doubt. CBLs new reporting and analytics engine provides detailed and comprehensive reporting on not only a learners knowledge, but also their confidence in that knowledge without the negative effects of guesswork and doubt contaminating the process. Another key feature added to the CBL System 2.0 release is a more robust web services suite that simplifies the integration of CBL with existing learning management systems (LMS). Customers frequently ask us to integrate CBL into their LMS as a way of enhancing the value of their existing training assets and increasing the effectiveness of their training programs, Dreher added. Integration is key, and this improved web services suite will make the process even simpler.
Clients who wish to add Confidence-Based Learning to their current training environment can do so without replacing their current investments. Other feature improvements of CBL System 2.0 include:* Management alerts A powerful notification tool apprises company executives of critical learning liabilities anywhere in their organization before they manifest themselves as problems. Custom-designed dashboard reports and alerts identifying pockets of doubt, ignorance or misinformation in the organization can be sent automatically to key managers daily, weekly or monthly.* Rich media/CBL integration The advantages of rich media training and Confidence-Based Learning have been combined to produce a powerful multimedia training environment that ensures mastery. Digital media files can now be interwoven with total flexibility throughout every stage of the CBL process.* Answer randomization Answers in the CBL Systems Confidence-Based Assessment" are randomly ordered each time they are displayed to discourage rote memorization of answer patterns. This reduces the ability of learners trying to game the system and adds yet another level of confirmation that mastery has been achieved.* Flexible content display Trainers can define the amount of training content that is delivered to learners in each session of the CBL process which is usually a subset of the entire course content. This added flexibility allows administrators to tailor course delivery and the user experience to meet the changing requirements of employee profiles, learning styles or environmental factors.* User-selectable mastery target Clients can now define the level of mastery, or the CBA Score" that learners need to achieve for each training module.
This administrator-selected target is displayed on the Results page for learners so they can compare their performance with the company targets.* Personal history reports Learners now have the ability to track their personal mastery level in real time and their path to mastery over multiple iterations of a training module, simply by moving their computer mouse over pre-formatted and easy-to-read charts.* Improved graphical design and navigation The new graphical layout, based on customer feedback, improves the user experience by leading users through the learning process more intuitively and simplifies navigation. We pride ourselves in offering the most comprehensive learning and assessment products on the market, and in our pursuit of excellence we are continually defining new features that make our process more effective, continued Dreher.
Most of these improvements resulted from customer requests. Our current and prospective clients will immediately appreciate how weve improved what is already one of the most powerful training solutions available.

Maximum Muscle Development with Chaos Training
(May be reprinted freely if linked to www.ExerciseCertification.com)Chaos is the scientific study of orderly disorder. It offers a way of seeing order and pattern where formerly only the random, the erratic, and the unpredictable (viz., the chaotic) had been observed. If a rock cliff is inspected, with its many jagged and irregular patterns splitting off in all directions, it can be concluded that the rock's pattern appears the same whether looking at 100 square feet or 1-square inch of area. Hence, although the overall structure appears different, i.e. the divergences and measure of rock cut, the fragments that constitute the composition maintain close resemblance.
Consequently, although chaotic in appearance, its nature is predictable and purposeful. Similarly, exercise can be very chaotic yet predictable, ever changing from one workout to the next but with direction... extreme variety coupled with standardization for purposes of sufficient measurement and comparison.Chaos TrainingTM...

Biblical Leadership, Developing Church Volunteers
Schaumburg, IL (ContentDesk) January 4, 2006 -- The American success syndrome will tempt the best among us with its low-investment-rapid return tactics toward leadership. Christian leaders, however, need a fresh look at accepting and applying biblical leadership principles.Notable author Kenneth O. Gangel says in his new book, "biblical theology rests at the foundation of our understanding of Christian leadership. I do not think that leadership is a subset of the social scienceslike psychology, sociology--with its main task being how to deal with people. We can learn a lot from those fields, but for the Christian, leadership is a biblical and theological issue.
. . Typically we all attempt some well-intended organization at the start of a new year for a more meaningful ministry experience. Kenn Gangel insists biblical leaders must follow a course
distinctive from skills acquired through business or sociology.So what is the difference between administration and leadership?...

Ten Great Careers That Don?t Require A Four Year Degree.
One of the great myths associated with the "American Dream" is that you need to have a four-year college degree to be successful. As the economy has shifted to the information age, with a greater reliance on technology and services, this belief applies less and less. The new economy relies on technology more than any time in the past. In fact 70% of existing jobs require specific technical knowledge and this technology is being applied in newly created industries like biometrics, homeland security, nanotechnology and reusable energy. Eighty percent of existing jobs don't require a four-year degree, while only 25% of students who begin college actually graduate.
Of those who do graduate, 30% don't get a job that actually requires a degree! The solution to these issues for many graduating high school seniors and workers unsatisfied with their current careers rests in a specialty technical school. These schools provide specific technical training in a variety of career fields. Career...
